Quote from subban:

Gerchik is Ok. He runs a group out of Hold and from what I heard from my friend who interviewed with them in NY guys in the group make some money but nothing serious. The real russian legend is Dmitry Balsny. He has his own hedge fund worth 1 billion dollars after starting out as a daytrader at Shoenfeld.

is Gerchik still running his group at Hold?
 
Quote from nyse1998:

ANACONDA i can tell you this much .You are not a traider with 1385 posts in less than a year and talk shit all day long while market is there.I bet you i know about baskets more then you will ever know.Just for you to know i was sitting with Gerchik and traiding REITS basket with him.So relax.So far you are sitting here and bragging how you making money.Maybe my english as not as good as yours but at least i m not a di.k he.d like you are good luck to you.Dont want to waiste any more of my time .Minimum waige ...And if you know Cornick.He was the one who was imazed how Gerchik consistenly making money.You can ask Carry Cromholts who has all the records of trading in wordlco in 2002 gerchik had 10-15 losing days at the most...proven by the way.So rest in piece dude

I think Anaconda is either some kind of spook or govt. The negativity, the arrogance lead me to think of the irony of his nickname. Stay away from that guy. Loco en la cabeza. I have him blocked and suggest you do the same.
 
btw. teaching others how to trade is not always a bad thing. its a great secondary or even primary income. what i dont understand is why its ok to pay colleges 30k to learn NOTHING but its bad to charge a couple of grand to teach people how to fish.

some guys are snake oil salesmen, thats true, but some teach out of love. much like the underpaid teachers in this country. no one ever says, i wanna make tons of money, i know, ill teach 3rd grade!

some people teach in order to spread market knowledge in a game mostly held close by old white men. this is quickly changing as globalism has spread poverty and ironically financial knowledge and technology.

if you are angry about the racial segregation in money and power and great jobs like trading, you can do something about it by teaching people risk management, discipline and how one could possibly make money trading.

the money you make charging for your course is an after thought. perhaps people like Gerchik like helping their countrymen into a world of knowledge that is not available to billions of people on this planet.

stop being greedy, selfish, hateful haters and share financial literacy with the world. that way we can have more diversity and less nepotism in trading.

So is Alex paying you to necro old threads and continue shilling for his courses?

Sounds like you're the one to ignore.
 
I actually knew Gerchik way back in Odessa, Ukraine. He was a cool guy to be around!
Well, I am not any kind of trader but always wanted to try - can anyone recommend a reading material for a beginner?
 
Anaconda,info that you puted here is wrong.I worked with Gerchik in Worldco since 1998.All the money he has maid ,he maid on his own trading. He did not start the group till 2002 so don’t lie here.You want to tell us that Eugene Cornic or Ted Hilley also full of shit? Everybody at Worldco respect Gerchik no education self maid...Did you ever maid 10% what Gerchik maid? in 2000 Gerchik maid 2.000.000 just in his account at Worlldco,pure trading.He consistently maid money ,and by the way still making now.Than he moved to Hold,at Hold he was not active alot in 2003 but then start again.You can ask anybody in the street now who is a traider, not like you ,that Gerchik makes a lot of money now from traiding.I don’t know much about his seminars,but i know he is very good trader.Why don’t you ask people who worked with him or who knows him.He was always helping us to survive,style changed he trades swing.I spoke to Alex about 2 month ago.Ask traiders who worked with him,they will tell you he maid money in trading not on groups , at least i survive thanks to him.He is not the best on the street ,there is many more better than him but Steven Shonfield {if you know who he is} was after Alex for 3 years.Its just show that you don’t know anything about Alex.

And the most important he never ever screwed anybody like others in our industry i know guys working for him for 6-7 years and stayed with him.The most honest man at least i know.Anyway good luck to all. Cant even read this crap...
I'm about a decade late but want to thank you for correcting the hater. I did not know him but do remember seeing his blotter real time while he cleaned up on MOCs. Dude was an ANIMAL! Props to EUG Bid also. . Looking forward to reading this thread.
 
"if you give me your real Russian name, but i can find who you were being that Gerchik used to sit in his own room with 2-3 other ruskies."

obviously you don't know much about him. he had 15 to 20+ russians in his trading room
You are the first person I have clicked who has been active within last year...u still around? 110 Wall
 
My thoughts exactly, the odds of Nyse1998 first post to know so much about the topic are......
Look how many posts I have, lololol...you seem to be one of only guys still around 10 years later.. Congrats... Alex did make big money... I started trading remote after 9/11 and have no idea what became of him.
